MAKES 2 CUPS
The Shakers' once had vigorous herb business and sold the mint as tea or used it fresh in preparations like this condiment.
1 tightly packed cup fresh mint leaves
2 1/4 cups raisins
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup cider vinegar
Pinch of cayenne
1. Finely chop mint leaves and 2 cups of the raisins, then transfer to a medium glass or ceramic bowl.
2. Add remaining 1/4 cup whole raisins,
salt, vinegar, and cayenne and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 4
hours or up to 1 week. Bring mint chutney to room temperature before
serving—with Roast Leg Of Veal, if you like.
